"⁣Supra goes Madrid" - Toyota Europe invites to drive the new A90

[PerformanceSound]

Liking it. Very much.
But those ice-cube headlights remind me too much of the Prius.

They look more like the Mercedes LED projectors. I'm a huge fan of LED's.

It looks like Toyota will have the Audi TT on hand for people to compare.

Talk about a low bar - maybe they should roll out a base 370Z while they are at it lol.

I believe that it's a TTS, given the brushed aluminum mirrors. It's a zippy little car. The RS version performs as a mini R8 of sorts.

I've had a fair bit of seat time in the TTRS. Great thing. I'd be disappointed if the A90 couldn't show it the door however.

 

[dshandy]

Agreed. I'd assume they're benchmarking the base model MKV to the TTS? That would be a more viable comparison. The top tier MKV should definitely give the TTRS a run for its money.

Given Moto Miwa hinted that it's already beaten a 991 Carrera S in testing... I think we should be safe...

There were also a sample of its competition, an Audi TT-S, BMW M2, Lexus RC-F, Alpine A-110, Porsche Cayman, Ford Mustang, etc... I don't know if its for internal evaluation or for press but they were there... Along with some old Toyota Supra from past generations from the german collection... so it's not just a track event.

That is actually pretty close to the expected 4 cylinder specs if not a little more powerful. Assuming the Celica (I'm calling the 4 cylinder version a Celica because I can) can keep up with that, the MKV must be a beast.

Guys,which spec is two tone MKV?

From the brakes, higher spec Inline 6.

It was stated (apparently incorrectly) to be a TT, not a TTS. Quite a difference.
